So Driveclub really does come with THREE months of Plus?

Doesn't look like the actual boxes, looks like a dvd case with the covers for games in the sleeve.

Yeah, you get a code for November, December and January in the Driveclub box.

This will be mine.
Given how few games even come with printed booklets anymore. I don't even see why the cases need to be that tall or thick. why not go back to square cases (like the PS1) but using those slimline style DVD cases. You know, like you get in some box sets. That way you can get almost 3 times as many discs on a row, and potentally even double them up on top of each other.

It looks darker because of the lighting, but these boxes looked exactly the same as this one:

If it is the actual box, I'm getting a real PS2 vibe from the PS4, from the boot sound to the font on the side of the cases.

Sony doing everything it did with the PlayStation 2. Finally learning and retracing its steps back to how they manufactured the most successful console to date.

I'm going to be honest, I'm going to miss the clear section at the top we get with PS3 and Blu-ray cases. I always thought that looked classy. Still, it seems as if they're using Blu-ray cases as a base anyway which I prefer to DVD cases as they feel more sturdy and less cheap.

The PS4 boxes look great, I love that Sony is going with a color identity this time. (And that it's a pleasant color too). I've always thought it was very smart of Microsoft's marketing to have a color for the Xbox, as much as I hated that vile neon green they use it was instantly recognizable.

It's incredible.
Love that the PSN logo is gone.
Return of the King.
PS2 was associated with blue too so they're just going back to their roots.
Return of the King.
This would've been very sensible and also nostalgic.
Same size. Standard bluray cases.
Given how the xbone is using blurays now...are their cases bluray size too?

I guess it's because it's BD-standard. Or maybe not, Nintendo still uses DVD-cases. But then again, that's Nintendo.
But I agree, the smaller the better.

They look too much like Vita games.

What I liked about the PS3 game boxes was that the black banner at the top didn't interfere with the boxart itself.
That's an issue the white banner 360 games had.
That deep blue might look weird on specific cases but generally it's alright.
That odd shade of green for Xbox One is an improvement on 360's case style but probably has more potential to clash.
When you consider how many people go for the blue and orange, PS4 cases are well suited. Blue and orange with a green banner will probably look pretty odd.

Not really saying it's a negative. Just seemed like they decided to go for the most economical approach and didn't even try. It's not like most people buy games based off of what the case looks like anyway.
Late delay. It's still coming out, just... not yet.
You make a good point, but N.Domixis was right. I just looked it up, and N.Domixis was right. It's blatantly clear, by definition that PS4 cases look better. I'd like to see some evidence before you refute that my jolly good friend.

You know what would complete this PS2-era revival? AA games.
I'm talking your Tony Hawk. Your RPG Maker. Your Timesplitters. Your Airblade. Your Mr. Mosquito. Your Harvest Moon. Your Metropolis Mania. Your Destroy All Humans!.

If you don't mind downloading 30GB - 50GB games, sure. Killzone: SF is apparently close to a 50GB download. Better buy a 1TB HDD for your PS4
I wonder if there will be special cases where games use a different colour. That's how it was on PS2. Most were blue, but some were black and a few even transparent.

Aren't they just Blu-ray cases?
I support those cases. It saves heaps and heaps of plastic.Are the game cases solid like the PS3 cases or do they feel flimsy like they have portions cut out of the middle on each side?
Basically am I going to open up my first game and see this.
I disagree. 80%

The case looks good, but the box cover design looks meh.
